About
Beanstack is an online reading-challenge and tracking platform that helps individuals, families, schools, and libraries track reading habits, organize reading logs, and gamify reading to build stronger reading habits and community engagement. It supports logging reading sessions (minutes, pages, books, or days) across formats, print books, e-books, and audiobooks, using tools such as a reading timer, an ISBN scanner, and progress trackers. Users can join reading challenges or readathons (e.g., seasonal, school-wide, or community challenges), earn digital badges when they meet milestones (like certain reading minutes or number of books), and potentially receive rewards or raffle entries depending on the challenge configuration. Beanstack supports individual readers, families, classrooms, or entire library communities; a single account can manage multiple readers, making it easy for parents, teachers, or librarians to oversee reading logs for children or students.

About
Accelerated Reader is a digital reading-management program developed by Renaissance that helps schools, teachers, and librarians manage, monitor, and motivate independent reading practice among students. Students choose books at their reading level and read them at their own pace. After finishing a book, they take a computerized comprehension quiz via AR to assess their understanding. Each book in the AR catalog is assigned a readability level (via the ATOS readability formula) and a point value based on length and complexity; when students successfully pass the quiz, they earn points. These points contribute toward personalized reading goals set by teachers. Teachers (and in some cases parents) receive detailed feedback and reporting on each student’s reading behavior, including books read, comprehension, progress toward goals, and reading volume.
